Year In The Merde, Paperback/Stephen Clarke

Originally self-published by the author in Paris, this hilarious satire of the French is finally made available to the masses in England. Stephen Clarke moved to France to set up some 'English' tea rooms in Paris. He gives an hysterical account of the pleasures and perils of being a Brit in France, as well as tips on how to make the perfect vinaigrette and how not to buy a house in the French countryside. A truly delightful read.
